This is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever seen. The sound effects are spot on and the entire presentation gives you a good feel of Star Wars. I’m trying to say a few nice things before I absolutely rip into this game. The shooting is fun, I didn’t play Battlefield 1, I wish had. But in Battlefront 2 it definitely reminds me of old Battlefield games. If you’re not aware of the zone and game type and where your enemies are, you’re going to die without even knowing wtf happened to you.

Pay-to-win
Let’s get this part of the issue out of the way. There are loot crates in this game. The loot crates have upgrades to all of your classes and cosmetics for all of your characters. It is stupid. If somebody dropped a few hundred dollars on the first day, there’s a huge potential of maxing out all characters and having overpowered Heroes. As if the Heroes weren’t strong enough from the start. You get one free crate a day. Thanks! You can earn credits to open crates while playing the game, but it seems like the max points you can earn are 150. You can get 150 credits, by making finishing the objective, or not allow the enemy to take the final objective. It seems more based on time then experience, because if you have 2 kills and I have 20, we both get 150 points. So I just don’t understand, there is no incentive to perform, rather you just don’t quit.

For anyone who was upset that their favorite video game is nothing like the live-action Hollywood version. Well, here you go...

The movie isn't looking bad. I loved both of these Tomb Raider remakes. Looking back now I remember both being very similar, but they were both very fun. This game had a ton of collectibles and it's one of the few I tracked everything down and got 100%.

I've put a few of mine up, but let me just share this one with you.... HQ level 70** (2 star) for all your end-game crafting needs. Requires 520 CP with food (505 for specialists with Stroke of Genius). I use this all the time to make high-end raid foods and any i320 crafted battle gear including weapons!

When people ask me what is my favorite Final Fantasy, I tell them it’s Final Fantasy XII. And most people look at me like I’m crazy. When I ask if they’ve even played the game, and they say no. So… I’m telling you guys, you have to give it a shot.

This IS my favorite Final Fantasy. The world is huge and connected all throughout, you can walk from one end to the to other. Fully animated cut scenes and great voice acting bring the characters to life. I love them all. The story includes Final Fantasy Judges, Viera, magic, mystery, two brothers in conflict, betrayal, a lost boy, a thief and his co-pilot, a dead husband and powerful enemy. I love this story. (Yes, I have actually watched the story cut scenes in this game.) Most conclusively, the main reason I love FF12 is the combat has been my favorite design in any Final Fantasy. The gambit system and programming your team to react in battle is a blast. It’s the main element why I’ve played through it 3 times. *3 times is a lot for me in my world of gaming.

I love it. I’ve been playing it non-stop since the release. The game is a lot of fun, I highly recommend you giving it a shot. You can play up to level 35 for free now. If you do choose to give it a try make sure you get in the Primal servers and join the Malboro world. That’s where I am, with Sugar Ninja and Bat Rastered.
